A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Yup. After taking a few years off after my shoulder surgery I started back at basically 0 weight, or 2.5lb if 0 didn't make sense. I did 4 sets of 25 reps for each exercise with perfect form, and only stepped up the weight by 2.5lb when I could do all 100 reps without discomfort.
I'm still taking it slow, but I'm back up to 1 plate as my 15rm with squats, deadlifts, and bench press without pain. Hopefully I'll be back to my pre-surgery 15rm of 2 plates soon.
Edit: I never actually made the point I was building up to. That point was that I just now got to the point where my major muscle groups feel the workout. I've spent about 8 months getting to this point because all of the supporting muscle groups need to get strong before I can actually lift heavy again.
But I can now curl a full 5 gallon bucket of water 8 times with perfect form because I built up everything else that supports the weight.
